No doubt that aircrafts are wonderful pieces of design and technology, we just say photo gallery "Aircraft Interiors Expo". The downside of these big birds is the noise they make, especially during take-off according to the local residents of Hoofddorp-Noord, Schiphol's nearest town.
To reduce the ground noise, the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol already developed some plans, including weird pyramid-like structures - we blog because we think you can do better! Design agencies, businesses, universities and private persons are invited to send their proposals before June 5, 2008
Check out the competition website for full details. Last but not least, the winning design will be awarded a prize of 750,000 Eur, and probably the eternal gratitude from the people of Hoofddorp-Noord.

if you dont like the sound of planes then dont live beside an airport.
This seems really cool - I wonder how much an actual structure could really cut down on noise and help people sleep better. The diagram makes it look like a giant glass is inverted over the airport?
